Abstract

A device for hemming of sheet metals, particularly of coachwork sheet metals in automobile manufacture, wherein a driven ram with superposed hemming bed arranged in a base rack presses the sheet metals to be hemmed against stationary hemming tools. The working stroke and the force for hemming of sheet metals is pneumatically transmitted to ram by the aid of a compressed-air cushion arranged between base rack and ram.
